Acts 5:27-32

When they had brought them, they had them stand before the council. The high priest questioned them, saying, “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you are determined to bring this man’s blood on us.”But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than any human authority. The God of our ancestors raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree. God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior that he might give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.”

Psalm 150

Praise the Lord!Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty firmament!Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his surpassing greatness!

Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp!Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe!Praise him with clanging cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals!Let everything that breathes praise the Lord!Praise the Lord!
